Nobel co-recipients Ragnar Granit, George Wald

Physician, Biophysicist. Physiological and chemical visual processes in eye.

Biography

Haldan Keffer Hartline, A Biographical Memoir by Floyd Ratliff, National Academy of Sciences. 19 pages.

His father, Daniel S. Hartline, was Professor of Biology, but a man whose wide interests also included Astronomy and Geology. It was through his father that Keffer became interested in Natural Sciences.

His college teacher of biology, Beverly W. Kunkel, encouraged him to undertake research; his first scientific paper concerned visual responses of land isopods.

He spent one semester with then future Physics Nobelist W. Heisenberg's seminar group in the University of Leipzig, Germany.
